Description
The Stringjoy 5 String Bass Strings Long Scale Nickel Wound set (45-130) is a great fit for players chasing clarity and low-end punch without sacrificing feel. These are a solid pick for working bassists-whether you're in the studio, on the road, or locking in with a drummer at your weekly gig.
Made with nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a hex core, these roundwound strings deliver a clean, balanced tone with tight lows and a smooth but present top end. They sit in a nice middle ground, not too bright, not too dark, so they'll work across a ton of genres. The taper point sits at 37.1" from the ball end, making them a reliable match for standard 34" scale basses and most 35" non-string-thru builds.
Tension feels even across the set, and the .130 low B keeps things firm without feeling stiff. These have a consistent feel and intonate well, and we've heard plenty of happy feedback from bass players who've made the switch. They just work.
